RECEPTACLE FOR SUGAR OR OTHER POWDERED 0R PULVERIZED MATERIALS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 679,834, dated August 6,1901. Application filed June 22, 1899. Renewed November 19, 1900. SerialNo. 37,052. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. CRITES, a citizen of the United States,residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles for Sugar orother Powdered or Pulverized Materials, of which the following, whentaken in connection with the drawings accompanying and forming a partthereof, is a full and complete description, sufficient to enable thoseskilled in the art to which it pertains to understand, make, and use thesame.

This invention relates to that class of receptacles intended to be usedfor holding sugar, flour, powdered borax, and other like materials forshipment and the like; and the object of my invention is to obtain areceptacle from which the powdered contents will not be discharged byleakage, particularly in case of pressure from the outside upon suchreceptacle, fractures or bends, or otherwise injures the outer shell orcasing of the receptacle.

Where sugar, flour, or other like material is packed in barrels forshipment, it is usual to line such barrels with paper before filling thesame, and one of the objects of this invention is to dispense with suchpaper.

In embodying my invention I find it advisable to take for the outershell or casing of the receptacle obtained by me the ordinary barrelsheretofore used and to place in such barrel an inner lining,substantially of the same shape as the outer receptacle used, but oflarger dimensions, such inner receptacle being made of textile material,as cloth.

In the drawings referred to as forming a part of this specification,Figure 1 is an elevation of a barrel forming the outer shell or casingof a receptacle embodying my invention, the dotted lines surroundingsuch barrel indicating the contour-lines of the lining of such barrel(of textile material) before such lining is placed within the barrel;Fig. 2, an elevation of the inner lining (of textile material) of thereceptacle embodying my invention; Fig. 3, a top plan view of thereceptacle with the cover removed; and Fig. 4, a top plan view of acircular piece oftextile material, as cloth, which may be used as an endto the lining of the receptacle.

A is the barrel, and B the lining of textile material, as cloth, ofgreater capacity than is the barrel A, as is distinctly shown by thedotted lines I), Fig. 1. The lining B is placed in the barrel A beforethe sugar or other powdered or pulverized material is put into thereceptacle.

C, Fig. 4c, is a circular piece of textile material, duplicates of whichare used as the ends of the lining B, and when so used are preferablysecured to the lining, to form a part thereof, by stitches D.

E E are holes in the barrel A.

Where the lining B is placed in the barrel A, such lining being ofgreater capacity than the barrel, and sugar or other powdered materialis placed in the barrel, in case of ahole E being broken in the side ofthe barrel the lining B will give and will not be broken through ortorn, and thereafter such lining will prevent the contents thereof fromsifting out. I have found that where the lining is constructed of thesame material as constructed by me, but made of about the same capacityas the barrel, (instead of having greater capacity as made by me,) thebreakage of the barrel will in nearly every instance produce acorresponding break or tear in the lining, and the purpose sought by metherefore is not effectedthat is to say, if the lining is made oftextile material of substantially the same shape and about the samecapacity as the outer shell or casing breaking or crushing of the outershell will ordinarily produce a like breaking or tearing of the lining,thereby defeating the principal purpose of the lining.

hen the lining is placed in the barrel, (or other outer shell orcasing,) such lining being of greater capacity than the barrel it willarrange or adjust itself (or failing in self-ad justment it should be soadjusted by the person filling the receptacle) by folding or crinklingupon itself, thereby leaving sufficient material in proper position toreceive without breaking or tearing any sudden strain placed thereon, asby the breaking in or crushing of the barrel, and permitting the shockof the breaking in or crushing to be distributed in the powderedcontents of the inner receptacle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as-new, and desire to'securebyLetters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a. receptacle for ground and powderedmaterial comprising a. built-up Outer shell, and an inner lining ofcloth of greater capacity than the outer shell, such inner lining placedin the outer shell, and consisting of a cylinder and circular heads,theheads attached tothe cyl- I0 inder, by stitching, whereby the innerlining will'not be burst in the making'of a, hole in the outerreceptacle when the same is filled with such materiaLs'ubstantially asdescribed.
